What do you stand for?
Raise your voice and empower your opinions
Or preside in the shadows and live by other's opinions
You make choices far contradicting your will
Wrongful expressions just to hide how you feel
What do you stand for?
Reach for the stars in the skies my beloved stranger
Miss and you'll land right back on this earth
Empty hands boast of nothing collected
In the wake of potential to fly awakened
What do you stand for?
A fool looks to limit himself
But the wise push on and only then do they realize their limits
If ever you find yourself lost in time
You'll find your meaning in mine
What do you stand for?
You've envisioned success your whole life
But the road lies on a sharp knife
Lest your future shines bright
And your present hides in night
What do you stand for?
May your eyes show your distance
May your mind fill the distance
For if one fails the other
Your dreams belong to another
My beloved stranger
What will you stand for?
